Product Description
Kason/Kasson (CMIT) CAS 26172-55-4 Industrial Biocides and Preservatives
Product Information
CAS Number 26172-55-4
EINECS 247-500-7
Chemical Name 5-Chloro-2-methyl-4-isothiazolin-3-one

Isothiazolone derivatives are compounds containing an isothiazolone ring, representing a new class of broad-spectrum, highly effective non-oxidizing fungicides. Known for their high efficiency, environmental compatibility, and broad-spectrum properties, these biocides are widely used in industrial circulating cooling water, adhesives, textiles, coatings, emulsions, plastics, paper manufacturing, and various other fields.
